[PATCH V2 1/2] mm/slab: do not access current->mems_allowed_seq if !allow_spin

[Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com>]

Lockdep complains when get_from_any_partial() is called in an NMI
context, because current->mems_allowed_seq is seqcount_spinlock_t and
not NMI-safe:

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0
         ----
    lock(&____s->seqcount#3);
    <Interrupt>
      lock(&____s->seqcount#3);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

According to Documentation/locking/seqlock.rst, seqcount_t is not
NMI-safe and seqcount_latch_t should be used when read path can interrupt
the write-side critical section. In this case, do not access
current->mems_allowed_seq and avoid retry.
